Autumn vacation
1.
Witch or not?
This fall, we take you back to around 1617, where Bodil Bødker works at the castle - but now she's accused of being a witch! The Queen's lady-in-waiting, Kirsten Krabbe, has accused her, and if it's true, an ugly fate awaits.
In this award-winning story hunt, explore the castle to find out if Bodil really is a witch. Cast your vote and help solve the mystery of Bodil.
2.
Feel Kronborg
Discover our fun, interactive stations where you can try your hand at life in a Renaissance castle. Write with a quill pen, talk to the cheeky parrot or fire the air cannon and shoot at the target!
